As the title asks, are there available options for a 2022+ R1250RT dash? The prior version doesn't quite fit the new TFT display.
 
Nick, let me install and see what comes of it before I recommend. I shoud have the parts later this week. The specifically said it wouldn't fit diercly on the GSA but portions might? I dunno. I'll keep ya posted.

Thanks Greg. Looks great and it just doesnt fit the newer screen. I tried hackin it up and use parts from here and there to no avail. Found a Police aftermarket company that knew the exact issues and have the remedy. Ordered and should be here this coming week.

Hi Ron,

Having bought a 1250RT last month, I'm interested in what can be done; any update on what you bought, and how it worked out?

After this week's events, maybe I should just ask James Owen!

Hi, I'm moving to a 2023 RT from a 2019 RT and want a dashboard shelf to mount sat navs too. There are plenty advertised for my old bike but none advertised for the new one.
Can anyone suggest were one can be purchased. I have looked on fms website couldn't find one.
If you could give a link would be appreciated.

Martin did you ever find a shelf.
 
I recognize the thread is over a year old. Has anyone successfully sourced and mounted a dash shelf on a R1250RT with a Sirius XM antenna? If you have, what company did you purchase the shelf from?
 
Thanks Greg, but did your Rtfs have a Sirius XM antenna below the windshield? I’m not confident after looking at the accessory shelf that it is compatible with a factory installed Sirius XM antenna.

No, I bought an XM antenna and connected it to the radio and then put the antenna on the dash shelf. If you leave the antenna under the dash shelf it will suck. Actually, it already was getting bad reception with nothing on top of the antenna. That is why I replaced the OEN XM antenna with one I bought for $25 and then put the antennal on the dash shelf. The XM radio reception improved dramatically.

Links to the XM antenna I bought.

Here are a couple photos on the XM antenna on the dash shelf.

One this photo you can see the XM antennal behind the Sena device on my 2016 RT, maybe you will need to zoom in.

The is where the XM antenna is plugged in and you would plug in your own antenna.

Thanks Greg. Great info with supported photos and links.

One final question, were you able to use existing mounting locations on your 2023 RT or did you have to drill mounting holes to install the accessory shelf?

Yes, for the 2023 RT I did have to make modifications because of where the XM antenna was mounted. I removed all of that and then had to drill a hole to complete the mount.
